hahaha.. what a FOOL!!!

(I am directing this piece to censure all those who think that they are the most intelligent people on the earth, you are despised and this time I mean offence.)

I had this class and there was this new teacher. Ok I agree he is not well versed with English, specially the speaking part. I honestly don’t mind that and neither should any sensible soul, till the man in question knows about his subject which he certainly did.
Now what really blew my head off was the wicked grin on the faces of some of my fellows when our man pronounced a word wrong.
To make things more interesting I would definitely like to tell that these mocking souls themselves are those who if asked to stand and speak a few words in English would start perspiring as if they had been put on a burning stove.
I have keenly observed that we the people of this nation (not all I mean) have this typical habit of thinking highly of ourselves. Well that’s not an issue till we don’t look down at others; but, this is exactly what we do.
It doesn’t matter if we are asking for a “teeshoo” instead of a “tissue” but if anyone mispronounced “Mariah” as “Maaria”, we will have our hearty laugh.
We are not interested in improving ourselves just for the sake of it; rather what drives us is the force to let down our neighbor. Now this if you ask me is really cynical. Why on earth is abashing others our common interest.
Why don’t we look at ourselves before laughing at others? We hold ourselves in high esteems, but we don’t care to respect others. We want others to respect our privacy, pick up our calls whenever we do but when the position is interchanged, we have our privacy to respect and obviously we are busy enough to pick that call.

Education they said makes a person sensible, but today; the more educated you are the more arrogant you be. Senses seem to just disappear; we start thinking of ourselves as the God almighty and others, well actually they don’t even deserve a word of kindness and respect.
I can go on a stretch on this subject because I have always find it intriguing that while we expect others to mind their own business’ ; we don’t mind ours and if we by mistake do, then it is to interfere in others’
We are so bothered about “the others” and definitely not for good.
We definitely need to do something about it because this world has reflectors around, you get what you give.
If you poke fun at others’ then please don’ think that you’ll be spared!!! Someone out there is making fun of you too..

    Well said Shatakshi. These things are the ones which hinders our intellectual growth. And when there is no intellectuality, there is hardly anything to live for. You just touched many one's nerves with the Teeeshu thing. True that. No Indian can pronounce tissue as tissue, its always a teeeshu.
    Very well written. Keep them coming!

The new life and some takes..

So, its almost a week at IIM Indore, Mumbai Campus and since I haven’t written any thing for almost a month; I feel that it is my moral obligation to write and enlighten the world which had been so deprived of some food for thought. The weather here is as fickle as any chameleon can get, the sky changing colors every now and then and you getting drenched in the rains, all wet and then within ten minutes you have all dried up due to the pinching, dense sunshine. Assignments are pouring in and the freshers had been a blast. The past week had been so busy that these four days’ off seems absurd. In the midst of all these, I am actually enjoying what people call the “perks of being at a premier institute in India”.  I would thus share two most peculiar ones  with you and in italics will be my take on them. 1. Suddenly I realised that people have started believing in my talent. The question mark on my abilities is gone just because I happened to garner a ...

"GORI" Kahi ki

"She is very beautiful, look how fair she is", came the expert comment. I looked up and saw a girl fair enough but average looking. Might be the jealousy in me changed my views, or maybe I was just being a fair judge. Lets come to the point now, fair or white skinned or "gorapan"; somehow I do not understand the fuss surrounding it. So many fairness creams in the market and the figures show that the sales keep increasing. The dark skinned ones want to be fair, the fair ones want to be even more fair. The Television ad goes like, something something nikhaar in such a few days. And the fairness, my god; you will not need a bulb when lights go off. Oh c'mon do you think I'll believe that?? Well actually I do and I try it out and then psychologically I feel that yes it is working. But after a few days, am back to my normal self, not looking that fair the much I wanted to. And sometimes, I go to a party with so much makeup piled on that I look so artifici...

Importance of Being “A-theist”

-
S unday, usually is the day when I prefer spending the whole day reading; the first half reading the news paper and the second half, reading anything I lay my hands upon. Today, I read an article about an atheist who went about defying the customs emphasizing on the futility of the multiple hours people waste  worshiping  and performing rituals. I, have been for a part of my life an atheist, I was very much a devoted  worshipper  before that and presently I hang somewhere in between. I do not deny the existence of God, not because I know of it but because I do not consider it to be a topic to waste my time thinking about. If He is there, He can well be and do His work like I am doing mine. I respect Him because maybe I have been told to do so or maybe because I believe in Him. One thing for sure is that I respect Him. I do not prefer sitting in the rituals, I do not really follow the day based customs of cutting your nails or washing your hair and I do not...
